Web Applications and Type of Designing Layouts

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

The layout that you select for your website is the important factor. Placing the design elements on web page correctly is the major factor in website designing layout. A good web application design company suggest guidelines considering how diverse elements on a website should be placed and in what format. It can be placed in centre space or in the grid system as per as what is appropriate.

There are six types of website design layout and that can be utilized on any website page.

Let us see what the different types of layouts are:

  • In symmetrical layout regularity is created out of website by introduction of the different elements, which is centre aligned or either of the one side of the web page. If left side of the page comprises of heavy design element, than balance it with suitable design element on the right side also. But consider that the elements on both sides should not be exactly similar. Complete symmetry is attained when the design is either centered or consistently divided in horizontal and vertical manner. This type of layout can be measured formal and balanced one.
  • Asymmetrical layout, as the term itself proposes asymmetrical, website elements are placed on a web page in a mismatched manner. It can be in center, left or right, either way depends on designer wishes to put the elements on the web page.
  • In isolative layout, any of these elements such as logo, symbol, main product image, and other significant pictures are placed in smaller sizes on the web page. It can be placed on any suitable space calculating upon its visibility and usage factor.
  • In dominative layout, here the logo, symbol, product image or any other picture is placed on the web page in elaborated size, and thus creating the main attraction factor.
  • In radiative layout, the website content, image, symbol or logo can be emphasized using pleasing light or flashing effect, creating pop up as the attention grabber part of the web page.
  • In repetition layout any single or multiple elements are repetitive two times or more than on the similar web page. Highlighting on a particular element that needs to be repeated for better visibility and holds greater importance.
